FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the KE50PS?

It features a predetermined breaking point and pre-snap function that protects the door even if the cylinder is attacked with force.

Can I use this on any door?

No, it is designed specifically for doors that use a Euro-profile cylinder lock.

Is the key difficult to pick?

Yes, it features a paracentric key profile which adds significant difficulty for anyone attempting to pick the lock.

Does it require oiling?

You should only use dry graphite-based lubricants. Do not use standard household oils.

What does the thumbturn do?

The thumbturn allows you to lock and unlock the door from the inside without a key, providing convenience and faster exit.

Troubleshooting

Key is difficult to insert or turn

Ensure the cylinder is aligned correctly in the door and use a small amount of graphite-based lubricant if necessary.

Thumbturn does not rotate smoothly

Check that the cylinder retaining screw is not overtightened, as this can put pressure on the internal mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to cylinder snapping due to predetermined breaking point
  • Rustproof internal parts ensure durability in various climates
  • Enhanced anti-pick protection with paracentric key profile
  • Thumbturn design offers convenience for indoor daily use

Cons

  • Compatibility limited strictly to Euro-profile mortise locks
  • Requires precise measurement of existing door thickness for proper fit
  • Not intended for use on all high-security door types without professional assessment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this cylinder, you must first remove the existing cylinder by unscrewing the retaining screw on the door edge and rotating the key to align the cam. Ensure you measure your door's thickness accurately before installation to select the correct size, as an improper fit can compromise security.

For maintenance, avoid using harsh chemicals or oils on the cylinder mechanism. Because the internal parts are rustproof, an occasional wipe with a dry cloth is usually sufficient. If the key feels stiff, use a specialized graphite-based lock lubricant rather than liquid oils.
